I use github and do a fair amount of Ruby, but I can't say I find Atom to provide enough benefit to move from a native option. I would have to see it used in more example cases to make that leap.

Probably not ideal given it's financial situation, but the userbase may respond positively, and that could have a proportionate benefit that outweighs the negative.
